Union Pacific 3967 was a 4-6-6-4 Challenger built by the American Locomotive Company in 1942 for the Union Pacific Railroad.
History
Union Pacific 3967 was constructed in 1942 by the American Locomotive Company and it was delivered to the Union Pacific Railroad.
The Engine became popular when it became the first Union Pacific Excursion Star, after it pulled an excursion for the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club from Denver, Colorado to Laramie, Wyoming on May 17, 1953.
In May of 1993, Union Pacific Heavy Challenger #3985 had masqueraded as #3967 as part of the 40th anniversary of the Rocky Mountain Railroad Club excursion, in which the original 3967 pulled the same excursion on May 17, 1953.
